    If the application is done online like a new photocard licence or V5 it is only a few days.

    Anything that involves them opening post takes weeks.
    not the name change hence me posting it.

    Why would you need your driving licence in Iran?
    I'll give you a guess, it's not to train their fighter pilots, lol.

    Anyone, please?

    Is that right.  

    Would you not be best advised to travel via taxi whilst in Iran at the moment?  A bit of local knowledge goes a long way.

    Did you also send off the correct paper work eg Passport or Birth Certificate (which requires other evidence of your identity)?

    Hi
    Yes
    ..

    Trust me, friend, I've been around the world and know what I need to and don't. Just in case I did not, I will decide if to ask or not.

    Thanks

    Just from your other posts elsewhere I thought you needed a wee bit of help.  

    But sounds like you're sorted.  :neutral:
